Nikki & Jr Go For A Walk

It's winter in the midwest. Our last storm brought 3" of sleet that fell in little frozen pellets. It piled up like snow, then temperatures rose to above 32 degrees. Everything melted, then froze to basically cover the ground with a nice 2" thick blanket of ice. Then as a topping, God dropped more pellets just to make earth look extra artistic.

So my mother being insightful as ever, gave me these great ice grippers I strap onto my shoes that make me like a human tank, going over icy hill & slickery dale. And we were the only ones out there, imagine.

Now day 3 of the ice, we have a problem. A blister!!! Darn it anyhow, had to cut our walk short tonight. Got 'er packed with aloe, healing is underway!
